A Milwaukee man who made the FBI’s 10 most wanted list after allegedly killing two people and injuring three others at a Memorial Day picnic in 2006 has been found dead in his cell.
Octaviano Juarez-Corro was found unconscious in his cell at the Milwaukee County Jail around 6:30 a.m. Sunday, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. Authorities said he was in a single-occupant cell and there were no obvious signs of trauma or injury.
The Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department is investigating. State law prohibits law enforcement agencies from investigating themselves in such incidents to avoid the appearance of impropriety.
